MICROSOFT OUTAGE UPDATE:

4:30 EST

Microsoft has confirmed broad recovery and stability across its services, including Teams, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and Outlook. Service availability continues to improve across all previously affected regions, and we are seeing a growing return to normal operations for our clients.

The disruption stemmed from an issue introduced during an earlier network capacity upgrade, which surfaced following a recent network change. Microsoft has addressed the underlying issue and continues to restore service to any remaining impacted customers and regions.

For more information, visit the Microsoft’s Service Health Status page.

Our team remains in close contact with Microsoft and will continue monitoring until full service stability is confirmed.  Please do not hesitate to reach out. For latest updates, please check the client portal.
